Product Information

The inner tent is the yellow area in the floor plan picture below. There is also a front porch which offers an area for sitting in the shade. The tent is tunnel shaped and non-freestanding. The floor plan and dimensions.

The declared capacity is 6 people, so imagine how luxurious this is when you have no less than 192 ft² (17.8 m²) of the inner area plus 41 ft² (3.8 m²) under the porch. This gives around 32 ft² (3 m²) of the inner area per person. So the declared capacity here is very generous, and this is not always so as you can read in my separate textwhere I discuss the issue of the tent capacity. See the dimensions and the floor plan: Eurohike 6 tent – floor plan and dimensions The inner sleeping area is what they call the darkened bedroom, so glare is reduced and you can sleep longer in the morning.

We consider how easy it is to get into and out of the main entrances and sleeping compartments, how bright and roomy the living spaces are, and if we consider there to be enough room for the number of people intended to sleep in the tent. You also have 2 steel poles 1.8 m each and these are used for the side awning; the pole sections are 60 cm. The fabric The bigger part of the tent is a single layer, but the sleeping zone is a tent within the tent so you have a double-layer structure where you need it. All rooms are full height standing rooms. The living area is huge, more than 10 square meters, and with all those windows on its three sides. The fabric: The shell fabric is a polyester with a 4000 mm waterproof rating. The seams are taped. They do not provide information about the floor material, but note that it is fully sewn-in and sealed.The inner tent has yet another extra floor.

This tent is designed for areas with lots of rain, there is no mesh in its structure, the windows are a solid translucent material, so I would not use it in warm areas. This is for a cooler environment. Tents with rigid poles made of stainless steel or aluminium are for building a rigid frame that will keep your tent sturdy in the wind. They can be heavier and more cumbersome to pitch, though.There are two doors, one is under the porch so it is fully protected from the rain and this is a dry entry point. The other door is on the side. If you have used this product please leave a review, or your comments for other visitors, many thanks! There are also tents with inflatable poles. You'll need to pump up each pole individually, so it can take a bit of effort, but you can avoid trying to feed the poles through the tent canvas.

You'll want to ensure your tent footprint is the same size as the tent you're pitching – several manufacturers sell footprints specifically to fit certain tent models.The picture also shows multiple storage pouches on the wall of the inner tent. Note that each of the bedrooms have several more pouches on the sides. The materials Once the tents are up, we closely inspect the interior of each one and rate them on how likely campers are to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience that meets their needs. It's very common for manufacturers to be generous about the number of people they say can fit inside their tents. The number they give will be technically true, but it probably won't account for the space needed for campers' belongings, or the space people need for a comfortable night's sleep. Regarding seasons & climate, the tent is ventilated, tall and pleasant, perhaps a bit more suitable for a cooler climate. The waterproof rating is very good so you are fully protected. I would describe it as a true 3-season tent.
